Mark “Gonz” Gonzales Covers The adidas Superstar ADV With His Schmoo Birds

For years now, Mark Gonzales — better known as the “Gonz” — has fostered a collaboration with adidas Skateboarding. And after dressing up the Aloha Super earlier in the year, the skate legend is finally returning to the beloved Superstar ADV.

Here, Gonzales dresses the silhouette near entirely in “Core Black.” Everything from the leather upper to the tongue, shell toe, lining, and tooling is done up in the neutral. This allows for the “Schmoo” birds to more easily take flight, their nubuck patches pronounced not just in texture but also their neon-tinged outlines.

For a closer look, check out the campaign imagery below. At a price tag of $100 USD, the Mark Gonzales x adidas Superstar ADV will release through the adidas Confirmed app come October 9th.

In other news, a Sail/White Dunk High is coming soon.
